Noise reduction in expansion valves for a refrigerant cycle

An expansion valve 4 for a refrigerant cycle, comprises a spring-biassed valve member 47 controlled by the pressures acting on a diaphragm 49, the pressure in closed chamber 51 being dependent on the temperature of the evaporated gas refrigerant in passage 44. Noise caused by vibration of the expansion valve can be effectively reduced by a single vibration-proof member 70 made of a rubber material covering at least part of a diaphragm case 50 and a part of a body case 41. Because it is unnecessary to cover all the surface of the expansion valve, the dimension of the vibration-proof member can be greatly reduced, pipe connecting/removing operation in the expansion valve can be readily performed, and the material cost of the vibration-proof member can be reduced. Adjustment of the loading of spring 53 can be effected by screw plug 55.

Door mirror incorporating a lamp

Light of an incorporated lamp illuminates the lower side of a side surface of a door of a vehicle. A rear end part of a lamp socket mounted with the lamp is exposed from a cylinder part of a lamp housing and projected from the lamp housing toward a holder/mirror assembly. Therefore, when replacing the lamp, the lamp socket can be found easily by simply removing the holder/mirror assembly, and the lamp can easily be extracted along with the lamp socket, to an operator side. Also, when attaching the lamp socket, high visibility of an opening part can be obtained because the opening part of the cylinder part is exposed to the holder/mirror assembly side in the lamp housing, thereby achieving a door mirror with extremely good workability of lamp replacement.

Substrate carrier management system and program

The substrate carrier management system includes a pre-diffusion processing apparatus, a carrier cleaner, and a carrier conveyer. The pre-diffusion processing apparatus unloads a substrate from a supplied carrier in which the substrate is stored, performs predetermined processing on the substrate, and transfers the processed substrate stored in a carrier to be used after processing. The carrier cleaner cleans a carrier emptied as a result of taking a substrate out of the carrier. The carrier conveyer conveys a carrier between the pre-diffusion processing apparatus and the carrier cleaner. The empty carrier unloaded from the pre-diffusion processing apparatus is cleaned by the carrier cleaner, and the processed substrate is stored in the empty carrier. With this arrangement, it is possible to automatically change carriers and thereby continuously use a cleaned carrier in the subsequent step without using a dedicated carrier.
